Hi I am on Quickbooks Uk I have a few new clients in Ireland where I have 20% Tax deducted how do I enter this in quick books ?

Hi @mallonscaffoldin 

Is this similar to CIS Deduction in the UK?

I know Ireland has a similar system but can't remember the specifics.  Is it money you can reclaim or do you write it off?

You should be able to reclaim it.  Otherwise you'll be paying UK tax & Irish tax on the same sale.

QB can only handle one jurisdiction.  So, if it's money you write off, you will need to journal it away after entering the payment (in the same way as bad debt).

If it's money that you will recover (at some point) you need to journal it from the customer balance - to make that zero - to an Irish Tax holding account in QB.  You can then receive the repayment as a Bill Payment or Deposit.

Hope this helps.
